among tho latter was a professional

"Yes."
"Wall, I'd hev liked to got over this
and had somethin' to talk about aud brag

"No; hero he is,"

over the victim and said:

"How are ye feelin' over it?"
"Sorter; no use to kick, Tom."
"That's right; you never was no kicker,

"No."
"Kin I do aaythin' for ye?"
Tho dying man gazed at him for
